I liked that my room and bathroom were clean. The staff was nice. The breakfast offered was good, average options to choose from. This is my second time staying there. I do like that there are a lot of options for dining nearby. I didn’t like that I had to pay a parking fee though which seems to related to the city Columbia (didn’t recall it from my first visit). Overall, a very nice stay.
